History[edit]
The Bandstand of el Prado (La Glorieta de la Punta) was the work of the French architect Charles B. Brun and inaugurated on May 20, 1902 in front of the then-existing Tacón prison. The bandstand was a small, circular, neo-classical temple structure supported by columns. The old Engineer's barracks were demolished in the military zone of Castillo de La Punta, in order to widen the Paseo del Prado. The 1926 cyclone caused severe damage to the roof of the bandshell and considering that it also hampered traffic as the boardwalk continued towards Avenida del Puerto, it was completely removed in 1928.[3][4]
